It is hard to get away from Fall In Line here and Sir Mark Prescott's gelding is a confident choice to beat Delta Force and Allied Victory. This four-year-old has hit a rich vein of form with consecutive victories at the three all-weather venues. Those successes were gained with ultimate ease and he looks certain to be still well ahead of the handicapper. Delta Force also comes here in good heart following the comfortable defeat of some moderate animals and may be the one to chase home the favourite. Of the others Allied Victory could go well at an each-way price. The opposition wasn't too strong when he landed his maiden here last month but he did overcome plenty of problems in running and if showing the same sort of determination could run into a place. Fall In Line though looks very difficult to oppose here and is a confident selection.
